Youngsters have banished the half-term weather blues by taking part in an art camp.

The event, at Rawlins Academy, in Quorn, is for those aged five to 13 and includes drawing, painting, sculpture and photography, among other activities.

Hayley Fern, the school's arts coordinator, said: "It's been fantastic so far with youngsters going off to take their own photos of inspiring objects. I think everyone's really enjoyed themselves and there's lots more to come.

"We make sure that each day there is a different theme, so the art camps at Rawlins are more of an artistic adventure than just a holiday activity."

In addition, sports camp activities are also taking place covering everything from football, basketball, and cricket, to volleyball and rounders.
